Granted, the lighting sources used in the video presuppose all kinds of weird color effects, but still the back cover looks to be a different shade than what we are used to so far. The blue seems to have a gunmetal hue, and even looks dark grey under this lighting, until the phone is tilted a few times in the video and the color reveals its underlying moody blue.

The German source who filmed the new hue says that this will be the final production color, which is to be called Metallic Blue now, so we are staying tuned for the eventual confirmation.

I prefer the old Pebble blue color as well, I seriously don't think they'll change it all that much if at all. I think this dude had really bad lighting in his video that made it seem like a different color but also if you read the Press release by Samsung for the USA version of the GS3 they still list it as Pebble blue so I really don't think they'll change it honestly.

I actually think the faux design in the pebble blue makes the phone look cheap. Just my opinion though. I think the white one is the better looking of the 2. I am still torn though between this and the Evo. I am not blown away by the Galaxy S3 but the HTC One series is simply gorgeous. Either way, you cant go wrong with either one.
